Anarchy prevails in BOC: Duterte

MANILA -- President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Saturday night said anarchy prevails in the Bureau of Customs (BOC) as he defended his decision to designate uniformed personnel in his Cabinet anew.

Duterte earlier appointed former Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff Rey Leonardo Jagger Guerrero to lead the bureau.

Duterte said he deployed military personnel at the BOC to keep peace.

They are there to keep peace because Customs is an anarchy. Maski sino ilagay mo, talagang may corruption (Whoever you designate, there will still be corruption), Duterte said in a speech in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Duterte also defended anew his decision to appoint former military chief Roy Cimatu as Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), noting that rehabilitating Boracay would have taken about two years if a non-military personnel was in charge.
